"DoCTORIyG OLD TIME. 4"
A Etrising pictuxe-A Revival Of
Old Time Sianplicities.

In one Of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration Of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents typical old
timer, with his bellows, blowing the dust
from an ancient clock, with its cords and
weights carefully secured. One Of these
clocks in this generation is appreciated
only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time" brings to our mind another YER
sion OF the title, used for another purpose,
"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming of this century, and even before,
with view Of ascertaining why people in
our great-grandfathers' time enjoyed a
health and physical vigor SO seldom found
in the present generation. They now
think they have secured the secret or
secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion that then existed, that Mature
has a remedy for every existing disorder, -
was true, and acting under this belief our
grandparents used the common herbs and
plants. Continual trespass upon the forest
domain has made these herbs less abun-
dant, and has driven them further from
civilization, until they have been discard
ed as remedial agents because OF the
difficulty of obtaining them.
II. III. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure, and founder OF the Warner
observatory, Rochester, n Y, has been
pressing investigations in this direction,
into the annals OF old family histories,
until he has secured some very valuable
formulas, from which his firm is now pre-
pairing medicines, to be sold by all drug
gists
They will, we learn, be known under
the general title of "Warner's Log Cabin
Remedies" Among these medicines will
be "Sarsaparilla," for the blood and
liver, LOG Cabin Hops and Buchu
Remedy" for the stomach, etc, clog
Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy"
a remedy called "Scalpine," for the hair,
LOG Cabin Extract" for internal and
external use,' and an old valuable dis
covery for cLtarrh, called Log Cabin
Rose Cream" Among the list is also
LOG Cabin Plaster and "Log Cabin
Liver Pill"
From the number OF remedies it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is be-
lieved by many that with these remedies
a new era is to dawn upon suffering
humanity, and that the close of the nine
teenth century will see these roots and
herbs, as compounded under the title Of
Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, as popu-
lar as they were at its beginning. Al
though they come in the form of proprie-
tary medicines, yet they will be none the
less welcome, for suffering humanity has
became tired OF modern doctoring, and
the public has great confidence in any
remedies put up by the firm OF which Fl.
II. Warner is the head. The people have
become suspicious OF the effects OF doctor
ing with poisonous drugs. Few realize
the injurious effects following the pre-
scriptions of many modern physicians.
These effects of poisonous drugs, already
prominent, will become more pronounced
in coming generations. Therefore we can
cordially wish the old-fashioned new rem
edies the best OF success.
